Skillshare

Skillshare is a New York City–based online learning community for creators, founded in 2010 by Michael Karnjanaprakorn and Malcolm Ong. The platform hosts thousands of on-demand video classes across creative disciplines — illustration, design, photography, animation, lettering, film, productivity, writing, and business — taught by working creators and industry professionals. Skillshare operates on a paid subscription model (Premium membership) that grants members unlimited access to the class catalog, project-based learning, and a discussion community where students submit class projects for feedback. The company has a teacher revenue-share program in which class creators are paid based on watch time and student enrollments, and runs Skillshare for Teams as a B2B offering for organizations to give employees access to the catalog. Skillshare does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, partner API, or SDK. The platform's programmatic surface is limited to internal web/mobile clients and an affiliate/marketing referral program; there is no documented developer portal, public webhook system, or third-party integration API for the Skillshare catalog, enrollments, watch-time, or teacher-payout data.

Skillshare is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Online Learning, E-Learning, Creative Education, Video Courses, and Subscription Learning.

Skillshare’s developer surface includes engineering blog, GitHub presence, YouTube channel, and 16 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/skillshare: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
